Elder Game

Elder Game is Carbine Studios' term for WildStar's end-game, level 50 content. WildStar will launch with tons of Elder Game content, aimed at players looking to play by themselves, in small groups, or with large armies of other players. WildStar's Elder Game begins at the level cap of 50. For more details on WildStar's Elder Game content, click on a section below.

World Story quests are the first part of Elder Game, directed at solo players. WildStar's primary plot is only hinted at during the leveling experience, and is saved primarily for max-level players. In World Story quests, players can enter solo instances and discover the hidden mysteries of Nexus. Carbine has promised to continue releasing new zones and story instances on a monthly basis, beginning in July with the Strain update featuring Blighthaven and Northern Wastes.

Veteran Zones are regions in high-level zones that have been set aside for level 50 players. These zones contain daily quests, new factions, and competitive zone-wide events. Currently there are veteran zones in northern Malgrave and the Crimson Badlands, but two more will be added soon in Blighthaven and Northern Wastes.

All of the Dungeons that players have explored while leveling their characters will also be available at level 50 as a Veteran Dungeon. Veteran Dungeons will be scaled up to level 50, and provide extra mechanics and challenges over their Normal counterparts. Veteran Dungeons will reward blue-quality, Veteran Tier gear.

In a word, WildStar's raids are hardcore. Meant only for the most dedicated and skilled of players, WildStar's 20-40 person raids are dungeons of doom with precisely tuned mechanics that will cut the cream from the crop, and beat down anyone who can't hold their own. WildStar's raids will require coordinate, mechanical mastery, and effort to take down, but offer the sweetest, phatest, shiniest loot the game has to offer.

Though most players experienced some PvP while leveling their characters, once you hit level 50 you can compete for gear and glory. Players can unlock different tiers of gear as they climb the ladder through battlegrounds and arenas, with seasonal rewards for those in the highest echelons.

Warplots are the ultimate form of PvP in WildStar. 40v40 battles over customizable battle fortresses? Sign me up! Warplots are also the highest level of PvP in WildStar's system, available only at level 50, and only for ranked battles. Warplots will drive PvP players to their limits in the same way raids drive PvE players. With the nearly infinite number of options, there's plenty of room for high-level strategy and tactics to take smarter and more organized teams to victory.

Elder Crafting is the final stage in WildStar's crafting system, only available to level 50 players. Elder Crafting will give players authority over creating some of the most powerful and unique items in the game.
